Tucked away on Retro Hughes Road in Sale Creek, this 12.5-acre wooded tract offers space, privacy, and the kind of natural setting that is getting harder to find. A mature hardwood and pine forest covers the land, sloping down toward Skiles Branch as it winds through the property. The acreage includes a mix of old logging roads and a network of ATV trails, creating walkable paths that make it easier to explore the terrain and imagine how the land could be shaped to fit your plans. Cranefly Orchids can also be found scattered along the creek side, adding a little seasonal interest to the landscape.
While the setting feels tucked away, you still have reliable modern conveniences. EPB and Verizon service work well here, and the Cumberland Trailhead is just five minutes away. Power and water are already available at the property line. The best route in is via Hwy 27 North to Retro Hughes Road. From there, continue up Retro Hughes Lane and then take Rocky Top Road back down to the land. GPS may direct you to approach from the bottom of Rocky Top Road, but this gravel road is very steep.
This property offers a more rugged starting point, ready for someone with vision to shape it into a private estate, weekend retreat, or long-term investment surrounded by nature. It has character, space, and potential for someone ready to make it their own.
